Rodenstock Lens Specs (Pre Linos takeover)

ROGONAR: A value-priced lens for low cost systems, the Rogonar features three elements and a relatively simple optical design. It offers good results when used for a small scale range and from a working of 11.

ROGONAR-S: With a simple optical design yet high performance capability, the four-element Rogonar-S is a universal lens ideal for amateurs or professional developing labs in developing standard print formats.

RODAGON: Known as the "universal workhorse," the Rodagon offers brilliant reproduction over a wide range of enlargement ratios. With a six-element design, the Rodagon provides resolution of the finest details while maintaining a uniformly high contrast on axis to field edge.

RODAGON-WA: Designed for smaller, awkward areas, the Rodagon-WA has a shorter and a large , and achieves a 70% larger projection area than with standard focal lengths.

APO-RODAGON-N: For the most demanding applications, the Apo-Rodagon-N is an apochromatically-corrected, high performance lens that guarantees perfect results. It ensures the elimination of visible fringes on high contrast borders, and is a preferred lens for B&W imaging applications.

RODAGON-G: For extremely large reproduction scales, the Rodagon-G is your best choice. This lens series surpasses the quality of all conventional enlarging lenses of this type.

APO-RODAGON-D: Ideal for duplication work, macro and CCD , the Apo-Rodagon-D lens is designed for scales of 0.4X to 2.5X. It offers superior duplication with practically no loss in quality.

Rodenstock Enlarger Lens Specs (Post Linos takeover (copied 2008/12/26))

Rogonar The Rogonar forms a solid base for the first steps in the amateur’s home lab. This lens is already a standard feature of many low-price enlarging units.

With 3 single elements, it has a relatively simple optical design. But when used for a smaller scale range of about 2x to 8x and at a working aperture of f/11, it still offers good results.

The large aperture for a 3 element lens ensures simple and precise focusing and provides a bright image for composition and cropping of the picture.

The Rogonar is available with the standard focal length of 50 mm for 35 mm film. It has a click-stop and an illuminated f-number scale.

Rogonar-S The universal lens Rogonar-S has a relatively simple optical design and so a very attractive price. But the very high performance capability of this lens makes it ideal for the high requirements of demanding amateurs or professional labs.

The main application area of the Rogonar-S is enlargement in the scale range required for in the standard formats. In this range, the lens with 4 elements in 3 groups provides high-quality results with only low light fall-off to the picture margin. Stopping down by 2 to 3 stops is recommended for optimal contrast und sharpness up to the image corners.

The recommended scale range can also offer some interesting possibilities for cropped enlargements.

The Rogonar-S can be supplied in several models for use for all film sizes up to roll film 6x9 cm. It is equipped with a click-stop diaphragm which can be disabled on the models from 50 mm to 105 mm focal length for stepless control which is helpful for the use of analysers or timers with pre-set time mode. All models from a focal length of 50 mm on have an illuminated aperture display and a practical pre-set aperture for fast switching from fully open to the working f-stop.

Rodagon The lens type Rodagon, with brilliant reproduction over the whole scale range of conventional , has become the universal workhorse of both demanding amateurs and professionals in practical use. Furthermore, the models with focal lengths up to 135 mm have proven to be excellent macro lenses for SLR cameras and to be high- resolution taking lenses for CCD cameras in combination with the Rodenstock focusing device Modular-Focus.

The 6 elements design guarantees the resolution of the finest details while maintaining a uniformly high contrast from the picture center to the edges. As the lens is nearly independent with regard to magnification scale, top quality is ensured from mini-prints right up to high enlargements. The recommended working aperture is reached by stopping down by only 2 stops from open aperture.

All Rodagon lenses are equipped with an illuminated f-stop display, a practical pre-set aperture und a click-stop diaphragm which can be switched to stepless control for focal lengths up to 135 mm. The Rodagon 28 mm is also available in a smaller barrel with a 32.5 mm thread mount, without pre-set aperture, without illumination of the f- stop scale and with a click-stop aperture ring that cannot be disabled.

Apo-Rodagon-N The apochromatically corrected high-performance lenses of the Rodenstock Apo-Rodagon-N series guarantee perfect results which will satisfy even the highest demands.

The correction of these excellent lenses with up to 8 elements was taken to the absolute limits and so ensures the full elimination of irritating visible color fringes on high-contrast structures. All monochromatic imaging errors have also been greatly reduced to give this lens type its unsurpassed image reproduction performance.

The advantages are clearly visible in both color and enlargements. The Apo-Rodagon-N is therefore the amateur’s and professional’s first choice whenever the very highest reproduction quality is required.

The optimal working aperture is reached by stopping down by only 1 to 2 stops.

For the use of these lenses as taking lenses for close up and with 35 mm SLR cameras as well as to the use as high resolution taking lenses with CCD still and video cameras, the same applies as to the use of the Rodagon; however, the definition and the brilliance is still a little bit better.

All Apo-Rodagon-N models have a click-stop diaphragm and an illuminated f-stop display. They also offer a pre-set aperture and allow the click-stop to be disengaged for stepless control which is helpful for the use of analysers or timers with a pre-set exposure time mode.

Rodagon-WA The Rodagon-WA has a shorter focal length and a larger angle of view and hence it achieves a 70% larger projection area than a conventional enlarging lens with standard focal length. It is therefore eminently suitable for section enlargements on units with relatively short columns. Clumsy wall or floor projections can so be avoided.

Thanks to the shorter projection distance, the carrier and the filter adjustment controls remain within reach of the hands and can still be operated easily when the enlarger's head is in top position for high enlargements.

The 6 elements Rodagon-WA provides the same reproduction performance as the Rodagon lens type.

The recommended working aperture is reached by stopping down by 2 stops. This guarantees shorter exposure times for higher efficiency and without or with less reciprocity failure for prints as well as for less loss in contrast by the influence of stray light during longer exposure times.

All Rodagon-WA models have a click-stop diaphragm and an illuminated f-stop display. The three lenses from 40 mm to 80 mm focal length have a pre-set aperture and allow the click-stop to be disabled for stepless control for the use of analysers or timers with a pre-set exposure time mode.

Apo-Rodagon-D Apo-Rodagon-D lenses are designed for the highest possible imaging quality for close-ups at just those scales around 1:1 where even the best enlarging lenses for larger scales begin to show their weak spots.

Thus their typical applications are transparency duplication, the preparation of internegatives and – together with the Modular-Focus helical mount and the matching adapters – macro photography. Furthermore, as well as for photography, they can also be used as high resolving optical systems for premium scanners.

The 6 elements, apochromatically corrected lenses feature high contrast and sharpness right up to the picture corners with virtually no color fringes. Distortion is corrected almost to zero and cannot be seen even in critical subjects with straight-line structures parallel with the edges of the frame.

The optimum working aperture is between f/5.6 and f/8. This is worth mentioning because the effective aperture of a lens focused for a scale of about 1:1 is approximately two f-stops smaller than the nominal aperture and therefore stopping down to smaller than nominal f/8 would result in visible blur because of diffraction. All three models are fitted with click-stop aperture rings which can be disabled and with pre-setting rings.
